Shared by 81 Comments

This Keto Low Carb Cranberry Orange Bread is a staple during the holiday season. It’s so moist, delicious, and perfect with a cup of hot coffee.

One of my favorite loaves of bread besides pumpkin is Cranberry Orange Bread. There used to be a bakery close by, and I would stop there often to grab a delicious loaf to surprise my kids. Unfortunately, it closed down years ago, but my son has never forgotten his favorite bread. He’s been asking for weeks if I could make a homemade Cranberry Orange Bread, so I decided to make it a low carb version.

If you are already thinking, this bread is not keto-friendly because oranges are too high in carbs rest assured there were no actual oranges used in creating this recipe. Instead, I used pure orange extract, which worked perfectly along with fresh cranberries, which are low in carbs and high in fiber. Having never cooked with fresh cranberries, I wasn’t sure how this recipe was going to turn out since cranberries are so tart. I added a little extra Monkfruit Powdered as a coating, and it was the perfect amount.

Cheesy Keto Brussels Sprouts & Bacon

I learned to cook from two of the best Southern cooks, my Mama and Grandmother. Because they were such great cooks, our table was loaded with delectable Southern dishes. For instance, one of those was Brussels sprouts, which I always loved. In the past, I have made roasted Brussels sprouts but wanted to make something different, so I created this keto-friendly recipe with a delicious creamy cheese sauce topped with crispy bacon.

Keto Green Bean Casserole Recipe

No holiday is complete without my Keto Green Bean Casserole Recipe! This simple homemade version with a crispy low carb topping turned out fantastic. It is the perfect keto side dish for the holidays and family gatherings.

Keto Green Bean Casserole Recipe

My mother-in-law (Grammy) makes the most amazing Green Bean Casserole. Before I shared my first Thanksgiving meal with my husband’s family, Green Bean Casserole was just “meh” to me. It wasn’t great, and it wasn’t terrible. However, that first Thanksgiving I spent in Ohio years ago when we were first dating changed my mind forever, and I’ve made it the way she does ever since.

Now, I make Grammy’s Green Bean Casserole for all of our special holiday meals. A couple of weeks ago, my daughter asked if I could make a keto version of Green Bean Casserole. Besides the French Onions and Cream of Mushroom Soup, I didn’t think it would be too hard. After playing around with the recipe a little, I can’t believe how much this tastes like Grammy’s Green Bean Casserole!

The trickiest part was finding a substitute for the french onions topping. That crunch and the oniony flavor is essential for a true green bean casserole. The baked cheese topping with dried minced onion made a perfect substitute.

Low Carb Foods at Dollywood

While many people look forward to the variety of foods at theme parks, if you are following a low carb diet, many of those tempting food options aren’t on your eating plan. It isn’t easy to turn down foods, especially at a theme park like Dollywood with their incredible homemade cinnamon bread, kettle corn, and baked goods. However, if you know ahead of time what foods are low carb, it isn’t impossible.
